[QUOTE="Broz, post: 646950, member: 7503"] Well Dan, please consider this. The 300 Rum will have the throat erroding in 500 to 700 rounds. If you want to keep it in top shape you will rebarrel at or before 1000 rounds. I have owned many long range rigs from 6mm , 6.5 , 30 cals , 340's and 338 edge and 338 Lapua. The 338 Lapua headstamped brass is some of the cheapest I have bought. And for sure it is for the 340, 338 edge, 300 rum, 300 win and 30-378 wby. My 338 LM brass is going in for its 15 loading, all with 300 gr bullets and not one case from the first 100 lot has been culled yet. My 300 rum brass, when I had one for a short time, lasted 2 to 5 firings then it was toast. Same with the 338-300 rum brass. When you start tossing them for scrap you realize how cheap good brass really is. As for production, I buy both my powder and bullets in large quantities all of the same lot number. To get the best possible preformance from your new rifle you may want to consider doing this. I have over 500 of the 300 SMK's and 850 of the 300 Bergers onthe shelf. My last order of H-1000 was 40 lbs. I am good for a year or so. There are many things to consider as far as expese of a certain round goes. And as far as a Rum and a 338 LM going for ELR..., well you just need to see them side by side at a mile in a little wind to know the difference. Jeff [/QUOTE]
